For seedlings, seed is sown taking into account the climatic characteristics of the region.Seedlings are transplanted into the ground at the age of 60 - 65 days. A garter to a support or trellis is required. Stealing is a must. In order for the tomato to show the best result, it must be formed into 1 or 2 stems. Usually the tip is pinched in August, or a little earlier, depending on the region. Planting pattern - 40 cm between bushes, row spacing - 50 cm. Planting density - no more than 4 pieces per 1 square meter. Given the superficial location of the root system, watering is best done in grooves dug along the bushes. It is advisable to take water for irrigation warm, heated in the sun. Top dressing is also important, because the fruits are poured quite large, which means that the culture spends a lot of energy on them. Potassium and phosphorus are mainly used for fertilization. Try to choose a sunny place for a tomato garden, because the sugar content in a tomato directly depends on this.
